| LFLF Following The Signs To Standing Chimney! |
As promised, LFLF is reporting on our "Small Business Saturday" visit to
Standing Chimney. We love the fact that these directional signs lead you along the way through the countryside. Their tag line is true ..... "In the middle of nowhere, on the way to everywhere"!
And we weren't the only ones in the middle of nowhere .......

| Customers Checking Out Items On The Porch |
There were some folks also in the back room enjoying tea & sampling baked goods. Standing Chimney is full of locally produced & sourced items -

| Standing Chimney Thanks You! |
We browsed the store and came away with a silverware keychain made from a repurposed butter knife handle, a small throw pillow, a change purse (for all that loose change that escapes in the truck consol), some homemade fudge, and anise pizzelles. Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm!
 |
| Pillows, Vests, Baby Afgans & Beautiful Smocked Dresses! |
LFLF loved the smocked heirloom looking dresses, christening gowns, & doll clothes.
And speaking of heirlooms ........ Just look at this unfinished rug hooking, a "work in progress".
Owner Beth got this from an elderly relative & it had been bundled up for years. You can see the creases on the burlap. It's found a new life & is celebrated now as a a unique work of art hanging in the shop. Gorgeous!

| Standing Chimney Hooking |
Along with seasonal items like hand knitted Christmas stockings, there was alpaca yarn, alpaca socks, knitted hats, gloves, and felted items as well as bakery mixes, coffees, frozen pierogies, and fresh baked goods available. How about wine bottle cork wreaths from a local crafter?

| Standing Chimney - Locally Handcrafted Goodies! |
So LFLF and lots of others supported local Small Business Saturday and shopped at Standing Chimney. They are open for 2 more Saturdays this year - December 7th & December 14th!
What does LFLF vote in as the most unique gift item? How about handpainted wooden baby duck fishing lures & bobbers?
And finally, the view out back ..... it's also a working farm!
